How did the first catholic church in Canada spread?

The first Catholic Church in Canada, established by French settlers in the early 17th century, spread primarily through missionary efforts by Jesuit and other religious orders. They focused on converting Indigenous peoples and establishing parishes, schools, and missions throughout New France. The support of French colonial authorities helped facilitate this expansion, as did the establishment of French settlements along the St. Lawrence River. Over time, the Church became a central institution in Canadian society, influencing education, culture, and governance.

Why did the French kings and the pope fight?

Could you be a bit more specific with a time period? There have been popes for 2,000 years, and there has been a France for maybe 1,200 years. The most common conflicts, however, between whatever French King was in power and the Pope were over Church property (which was sometimes as high as 30% of all French territory) and was not taxable and over France's nature as a Catholic State that fought against other Catholic States or Permitted Non-Catholic Religions.

The members reject the changes made to the Church by the Second Vatican Council.


How do you reduce the power of the roman catholic Church in french government reformers?

To reduce the power of the Roman Catholic Church in French government, reformers during the Enlightenment emphasized secularism and the separation of church and state. They advocated for the nationalization of church properties, limiting the Church's influence on education and politics, and promoting religious tolerance. The Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1790 redefined the relationship between the Church and the state, further diminishing the Church's authority. These reforms aimed to establish a more egalitarian society and reduce the Church’s control over French citizens' lives.
